Creating a captivating resume that sparkles bright enough to catch an employer's attention is an art on its own terms.

With the ramp up pressure kids experience at school and the need to sign up to too many extracurricular activities, it’s no surprise how the number of teens employed have been declining over the past decades. There are many benefits (and risks) of adolescent employment. The decision to allow your teen to have an after school job should be a well thought-out family decision based on how well they can manage responsibilities, time management and money.

But if your teen is ready to take the plunge the first thing they need to figure out is how to build a resume that stands out even if they don’t have any work experience.

“Pie for Patients” social media effort challenges people to pie themselves and others for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

Ringling
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® and
Chick-fil-A are teaming up with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to
challenge Children
Of All Ages to
participate in Pie
for Patients. People
can make a pie using shaving or whipped cream, take a video, and then
post the video on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube using
#GetPiedforCHOA and #ringlingbros. After getting involved in the fun
of getting pied and raising awareness for Children’s, participants
are asked to donate to make a difference in their local community.

“The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus birthday tradition of being pied has been transformed in Atlanta into an opportunity to pie yourself, friends, family, and neighbors for a great cause,” said Brad Timberlake, Regional Vice President for Feld Entertainment’s Southeast Region. “’Pie for Patients’ is a fun, unique way to raise awareness for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, which has done amazing work in our community for more than 100 years.”

Donate
to Save Lives and then Pie yourself to challenge friends, family, and
neighbors and help raise money for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

It’s easy to get involved!

1. Make a challenge video of yourself
being pied for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta on your social page
for people to donate and get pied too!

2. Organizations can create a page on this website
so that friends and family can make donations to support your Pie for
Patients team challenge

to the hospital. Ringling
Bros.
clowns will also be at these four spirit events and over 45 more
locations to entertain customers in January and February. Customers
will have the opportunity to put on a “Pie for Patients” poncho
and get pied on the spot at all Chick-fil-A Atlanta locations that

the four spirit event locations below:

Ringling
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
will also donate $20,000 to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to
support local pediatric patients and raise awareness of the national
cancer research being conducted by Dr. Joshua Schiffman from Salt
Lake City’s Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, who is
studying DNA from Ringling
Bros.
elephants and comparing it to DNA from his patients with cancer.
Scientists are studying why there is such a low incidence of cancer
in elephants, what makes this cancer resistance possible in elephants
and not in humans, and how this may correlate to new treatments for
pediatric cancers.
